2006/07 Season Report

National Champion 2005 Yura Malamura

Yura is the first wrestler in Highline history to ever win a National Championship.  He is an extremely hard worker, with unbelievable strength and endurance.  The biggest factors that led to Yura's National Title was his work-ethic, and his ability to compete on a national stage.  He is terrific person on and off the mat.  He now wrestles at #1 ranked University of Minnesota, heading into his senior year!

Updates (September 2007)
Yura Malamura - Former 197 lb. National Champion Yura Malamura is now starting for the #1 ranked team in the country, The University of Minnesota.  Malamura was sidelined at the beginning of the year with a torn LCL.  However, he has proved his durability by posting a 4-1 record.
 

Jason Mendez - After earning his A.S. degree from Highline, Jason is wrestled at Embry Riddle University in Prescott, Arizona, where he was a national qualifier his junior year at 141 lbs. in the NAIA division. Jason has now earned his degree at Embry Riddle and was a 2-time National Qualifier.

Jon Muri - Jon finished his Highline degree and went on to become a national qualifier his junior year for the University of Montana- Great Falls.  Since them, Jon  has finished his degree at Great Falls Montanta and was a 2 -time National Qualifier.  John was also ranked in the top  6 his junior year.
 

"All 3 were teamates in 2004/2005.  They are all some of the hardest workers I've ever had come through Highline.  In addition, they have excellent character and will always be successful when wrestling is over."

Desean Willis - Desean made a late transfer to Tennessee Cumberland which is an NAIA school.  Desean has also taken over a starting roll at 125 lbs.

Pat Bradley - All-American (8th) Pat had one of the most devastating force halfs.   He pinned several people on the way to earning All-American honors.
 

Desean Willis-  knocked off several good wrestlers at the nationals to place a strong 7th and claim his first All-American status.  Desean recently chose to wrestle at Tennessee Cumberland, an NAIA school.

Brad Padgett- Brad is clearly the leader on the team.  ` Brad was robbed of a national championship, but demonstrated the character to learn from a loss.  He placed 5th in 2006 to earn All American status.  Brad was also the Region 18 Most Outstanding Wrestler where he downed this year's national champion 14-7.  Before Highline, Padgett only lost 1 match in his final 2 years of high-school.  He placed 2nd in state his junior year, and won his senior year.  Brad is now wrestling for the St. Cloud State University Huskies in Minnesota along with Michael Markey.
In 2007/08 Brad led all Husky competitors by claiming fourth place at 184 lbs in the Division II Nationals. Padgett started his day by defeating #4 Keeno Griffin (Newberry) by a 10-4 decision. Padgett then took an 8-5 victory over #5 Heath Jolley (Central Oklahoma) before falling in the third place match to #1 Jared Deaguero (Adams State), 4-3.
